Grass is greener in the Crimson Desert, while there are plenty of resources that you can pick right from the surface with your hands, but some of them are well hidden, and they can only be interacted with the right tool. And you don’t want to miss out on the resources, as they always play a crucial role later. One such item is Skyroot, as it is also hidden from the surface view. Here are all the things you need to get Skyroot in Crimson Desert.
How to Find Skyroot in Crimson Desert

Skyroot is part of the Skyroot Research Halted faction quest under the Scholastone Institute. He will mark the Skyroot location on the map so we can begin hunting for this rare medicinal herb.
The item we are looking for is buried in dirt, and now we can’t use our hands to dig out the Skyroot from the ground. What we need is a shovel. If you don’t have one, you can buy it from the Provisioner’s Shop in Hernand Town.
Now all you have to do is follow the “?” marker on the map to get to the Skyroot area of interest. Here, open up your radial menu and select Shovel, and start digging in the area to unearth the Skyroot. The spot will have around 10 Skyroots, so use your shovel to get all of them before departing the area.
Note: It will take around seven in-game days for the Skyroot to respawn.
